Some of the places I hope will be included:
- All Saints Episcopal Church in Hoboken, N.J. which in 1989 became the home of the first outreach ministry by/for gay and lesbian people to be sponsored by a mainstream religious group
- The Upstairs Lounge in New Orleans, which was the scene of a deliberately-set fire that killed many
- The Continental Baths, in the basement of the Ansonia Hotel in New York, where Bette Midler and others entertained patrons
- Harvey Milk's camera shop in the Castro, which is now an HRC office
- Macondray Lane in Russian Hill which is supposedly the inspiration for Barbary Lane in Amistead Maupin's series Tales of the City
What about you guys?
